  • If you are planning to build a polo frame, what material should be "best"? And then butted, double or triple? Questions questions questions..

  • Carbon Fibre.

  • Papier-mâché

  • Bamboo*

    *calm down Tree-Frog

  • YES!! I was thinking about a mix between those....

  • scandium

  • pistachios

  • Unobtainium

  • next tourney I'll bring some for you guys,

  • taiwantainium

  • the bones of your fallen enemies

  • sausagemeat.

  • Concrete

  • Steal, preferably hi tensile.

  • Steal, don't bother building it at all

  • Build!? Skip it FFS-Reynolds 500 lugged still goin' strong.

  • a Chi-wan titanium frame is cheaper than uk steal frame if you're thinking custom so should I ever feel the need for one I know which I'd choose

  • Chi-wan Ti frames have pretty bad reports if you go for custom. The off the shelf geometry ones aren't too bad.

    I've just ordered a Triton, fully custom, from moscow, dmitry is a top bloke, responding to all my questions, input etc. First drawing is done.

  • Build your frame from the broken dreams of your youth.

    (Or chicken bones)

  • No experience of any of these chi-wanese frames but a bit wary of one-off customs. Heard a few stories of cheapy customs measuring up pretty differently to what they were designed to be. (headtube ended up being two degrees steeper than specified on a friends trials bike)

  • what about this company as a building option

    I know three people that got frames from this guy, they seem pretty happy with them and I think frame was around £70 each (they got 3, different designed frames posted together) they've only had them for a couple of months though, I'll ask them what they think.

  • a couple of the Barca guys had their frames build from them, and it was not £70 each.... if you want one be fast as I think the more work this Marino is having the more prices will go up
